PS3 Price Drop is Inevitable. Now is Your Chance to Sell

If you have been planning on selling your PS3, right now is a perfect time. The biggest Online retailer is offering an incredible amount of money for your 160GB PS3 system. The timing is also right before E3, which is rumored to unveil a new price drop for the system.
(PS3)

So you could go buy an Xbox 360...and wait patiently until Microsoft upgrades you to it's revolutionary, ground-breaking, ever-ambitious new disc format. What with its INCREDIBLE 1 GB upgrade to 7.95 GB of maximum storage compared to the DVD format Xbox utilizes now.

Hey Sony, Eat...Your...Heart Out! Blu-Ray What???

LOL, oh nobody better be so damn dense as to not sense the immense sarcasm I'm hemorrhaging here.

@ScentlessApprentice7lol Bubbles+ for Funny. hahaha Yeah a $200 PS3 would be unstoppable. Tons of exclusives + an awesome pricepoint would guarantee that the PS3 hits #1 on Amazon Videogame Bestsellers for several weeks/months.

I'll probably buy one for my cousin as well as a copy of MLB The Show '11.

This is the perfect example over how Sony fanboys are the fastest to over react to anything even remotely close to being a diss to there precious system.

Its not telling you to sell ya system for no reason, it clearly reads, "If you have been planning on selling your PS3, right now is a perfect time."

Maybe some people were planning on selling there system. This is just giving a heads up they might wanna do it soon as a price drop may be on the way. Jesus christ get a grip fanboys. Nobody is out to get you. (well unless they attack the PSN again lol)

either most people don't know math or do not understand what this guy is saying. He's saying if you trade in your old ps3 @amazon you can get $230 in credit. IF you believe there will be a price drop and the ps3 will go down to $199. Then you can rebuy the ps3 and make $30 on top of getting a new warranty and a new ps3.

I will say it again. Electronics do not last forever, especially launch consoles such as yours. When I got YLOD, I just fixed the darn thing and traded it in towards a new slim. If I want to play PS2 games, I play it on my ps2 wherever I want. It's not worth keeping for BC bro, so should seriously consider before it dies again.

Edit: I knew I was going to get a disagree, but you have to stop being so protective of your console and simply face the facts.

You could get it re-balled at gophermods or another respective company. I had 1 PS3 YLOD sent it to Sony LOST everything. Got a referbrished one from Sony it LOST everything then got yet another refurbished one.

In my bedroom one I took a risk ad sent it to gophermods. It repaired without losing any data for under $100. I wanted re-ball service then but it wasn't available. I bought a slim transferred everything too it and packed up my PS3 fat. The PS3 fat has been sitting in a box several months.

Those BC PS3's aren't always dead yet!! If you re-ball them with new paste they're almost as good as new.

I went to my local Gamestop about a month ago & asked what they'd offer for my 80GB no BC too (I was thinking of trading for a slim). I got offered a 160 euros for mine (haven't traded it yet).

Your probably better off sticking it on ebay or something just too see if you can get a better price, $75 isn't alot where I come from. Europeans would probably snap it off you & pay more since there paying extra for 2nd hand PS3's in their own stores.

With the games being region free it wouldn't matter although I don't know if an SD TV (old E.U. TVs) can display US PS3s cause of the NTSC settings?). Most people have HD TVs now anyway so it should still get a alot of interest.

I have both consoles. Since when over the years has the PSN had issue's other then this recent hack? The XBL has issue's all the time. Be it on a much smaller scale. But it does more often. The XBL is a glorified Wii set up. Same cute little player profile. Same cute little sounds and all. Plus, it sounds like you just committed yourself to playing the top multi-platform games. As the console you just sold has all the top exclusives.

But then again, a true gamer would have never sold a console and seen past the hacker issue in the first place.

What are these "issues" XBL has "all the time"? I'm on quite a bit and never have any trouble. Btw, I sold my PS3 before the hacking incident even happened. I personally couldn't care less about all the PS3 exclusives everyone here keeps talking about.

I said I sold my PS3 because of PSN. I can do whatever I want to do, I couldn't care less of PS3 exclusives. It's funny u call yourself a true gamer, because a true gamer doesn't necessarily mean a smart consumer.

If the price drops $10 each day and the stores said better sell now before we only give $10! I still wouldn't. When I bought a PS3 I aimed to keep it until the PS4 at very least (even then wouldn't sell it, just wouldn't replace it if it broke).

Why would I want to sell my 80gb phat with the card readers and the ability to play ps2 games and all that? Mines even mint still and have the box in perfect condition too. Regulary take it apart to clean the dust out of it. Still works like new.

I'm curious, IDK if English is your second language or that you speak a different kind of english (eg: American english, British English) but I have seen a lot of people use the word "sale" as a verb, Like " I will sale my car next year." In American English the verb for "sale" is "sell" or "sold" if have transferred ownership of an item already. I am not trying to be a grammer nazi or anything, I just want to understand if it is a "lost in translation" thing or just a difference in the rules of English From different English speaking countries. ( the last thing is it is some sort of weird Internet meme that I have never heard of.)

currently playing GT5 and socom 4 .. sell my ps3 ? hehe noway , btw guys my hard dride is almost full i have the 60g ps3 how can i upgrade ? and also is it possible to use an external HD to save my games ?

Fanboy rubbish, site and fanboys full of it. Without all the lovely consoles you would end up with whatever they decide you have at whatever price they want.

The PS4 without the 360 to keep it on its toes will be £600 with no price drops ever. The 720 could be another windows vista that would be fixed after 2 years at a cost to you. Sony and MSXBOX need each other.

But i suppose we still be able to play Call of duty mario(pegi 3) on the nintendo cafe built from what the recievers at sony sell them.

Bantor is bantor but some of these reports are hell bent on impacting the companys which also effects JOBS and the customer experience.
